DC W.I.P. American Vampire 1 #[nn]

This DC Work in Progress edition presents the striking black-and-white cover art for American Vampire #1, showcasing Rafael Albuquerque's atmospheric linework in its raw, unfinished form. The cover is split between a haunting lower half — a woman's profile rendered in loose, expressive inkwork with dark streaks suggesting something ominous — and an upper scene of silhouetted, duster-clad figures armed with rifles facing down a steam locomotive on the frontier. It's a rare chance to appreciate the craft behind Scott Snyder, Rafael Albuquerque, and Stephen King's series at the pencil-and-ink stage, presented in this 2025 DC W.I.P. collection for $14.99.
